Josh, I was going to order a new set of either Nitto NT-05 or BFG KDW in 235/40/18. But then, I still have pretty good amount of tread left on the stock tires. (225/40/18) So I decided to just swap out the rims and ride out the current tires for now.

Yeah, I only have 14k miles on the stock tires.. lol Don't want to waste them.

Koni Yellow and Bilstein Sport shocks are all out for my car. Probably at the end of this summer, I'll get a set of Bilstein Sports with a set of Swift R Spec springs. I'll probably wait for some type of special pricing or sale. I can wait.

Thanks!

Yes, it's much lighter than the stock one. Almost 6lbs per corner. The stockers look pretty good, but they are heavy for sure.

Can't wait to get them mounted!!!

Good idea. I personally wouldn't boost a Miata, if I had it. Just put some crazy suspension set up and call it a day.

I can't wait to pick up a nice Miata for myself too.....

I was too busy at work yesterday and will probably not have time to go to the shop during the weekday. I just made an appointment for this Saturday.

arrrrrggghhhhh

Well, I did get a bottle of Goo Gone and took off most of those ugly labels and leftover adhesives yesterday though.

My three puppies all looked at me weird while I was doing that in the living room.

Just to let you guys know, Mazdaspeed3 gives you some great insurance rate... I'm now paying $74.97 per month.

I used to pay like $100 but received some additional discount after I got married couple months ago.

That's about what I pay for my car...of course, I'm 40, married, own a house, have no moving violations in the last 20 years, and no accidents where I was at fault. All that helps.

there's a dealership here in Selma, but they arent an authorized speed dealership, so they dont even sell them. plus the whole Selma Automall is pretty shady.

Fresno isnt too far, just 1/2 hour away. I can get myself some lollicup while im out there

By the way, I'm going to get this thing done pretty soon! Probably in two weeks.

Should I black out the emblem and the fog light bezel as well? Not flat black, more like black chrome type of feel for them.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, everything blacked out looks cheap. That's why I'm trying to leave the high beam section untouched.

Should I leave the emblem and the fog light bezel alone? They will compliment the color of the rims. Both are grey.
